The loss of Phillip Dorsett has forced Miami to make changes to its depth chart ahead of Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

According to Hurricanes coach Al Golden, Dorsett--a former St. Thomas Aquinas standout--partially tore his MCL Thursday in Miami's 27-24 win over North Carolina.

He's expected to be out anywhere from 4-6 weeks, forcing Miami to make adjustments at wide receiver and at special teams.

Herb Waters and former Northeast standout Stacy Coley are now listed as co-starters in Dorsett's spot, while former Miramar standout Malcolm Lewis, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last year, is listed as a reserve behind Allen Hurns at the other receiver spot. Lewis is also listed as the No. 2 behind Waters at the slot receiver spot.

Tight end Clive Walford, a co-starter on last week's depth chart, is now listed at the starter ahead of Asante Cleveland.

At right guard, Taylor Gadbois is now listed as the No. 2 behind Jared Wheeler.

On special teams, Stacy Coley and Duke Johnson will handle kick returns in Dorsett's absence, while Coley or Dallas Crawford will handle punt returns.
